Product Description

There's been a strange phenomenon in the world of music lately. Artists with only two or three releases are putting out greatest hits records. This is not the case with Vancouver's Matthew Good. With seven CDs released over the last ten years, 14 Juno award nominations and over 900,000 discs sold, the time has come for a definitive collection. Good tends to write his songs in one of two styles; first, the full-on modern rock melodies, well-crafted tracks that tend to appeal to the college crowd. (Anthems like "Hello Time Bomb," "Load Me Up," and the throbbing "Everything Is Automatic" fall into this category.) Where Matt goes from very good to great is his other style: fragile, floating compositions that sweep orchestrally from whispers to waves of deeply emotive choruses. Included in that style, you'll find the pensive "Strange Days," the implosive "Symbolistic White Walls," and the stunning "Apparitions," a powerful track which was further enhanced by one of the best Canadian videos ever made. It's rare to say, but Matt Good's videos are frequently highly watchable, and the deluxe version of this collection is a worthy investment. The second disc contains many extras: all of Matt's music videos, some documentary footage, and 19 additional music tracks, including compelling acoustic reworkings of his many classics. Matt's success has been understated at times, but when such a grand collection of songs are come together, Good's contribution to Canadian music is undeniably strong: this is truly a great greatest hits disc. --Denise Sheppard

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very interesting stuff,
By Charlie "Theread" (Wagga Wagga, New South Wales Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In a Coma (Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)
This is the yardstick by which all greatest hits albums should be measured. Some may disagree with the track selection, and to me leaving stuff off "The Audio Of Being" from this album is a mistake, but this is a great compilation.As an Australian out here in the antipodes, the DVD is the thing that makes this outstanding. Matt Good videos do not get played out here, and his songs don't for that matter, but too see the development of the visual form of his songs is fascinating. I would recommend this to any person with an interest in Matthew Good's career. Those who choose to rubbish this album by attacking the man should have a real close look at themselves, give themselves a few uppercuts and get a life!!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars
to the 1 star reviewer,
By Sean (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In a Coma (Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)
Your facts don't mean a thing, and whether or not they are true are irrelevant. What matt did as a teenager is his business. It is what he is doing with his life now that is relevant. Why is it wrong to idolize someone whom is politically outspoken , and who is trying to change the world for the better? What does matt being hit in the head with a shoe have to do with anything? Next time do some research before you criticize someone.Now For The Album The Album is 5 stars, but I think it would be better for you to go out and by his other records 1 by 1 and listen to them. Matt has always been in the business of making albums, and by that I mean he does not put filler on the albums. Everyone of his songs is heartfelt and is worth your money. Of course there are songs Matt personally has grown to hate such as, indestructible and rico, because of their redundant nature. However, I like these songs, but they are not his best songs. In my opinion his two best songs are apparitions and suburbia, but of course its all subjective. If you've never heard matthew good's songs before, in a coma is a great place to start. I would get the deluxe edition solely because of the accoustic reworkings. Anyways Cheers:D

Essential Matt Good,
By Jennifer Wheeler (Feltham, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In a Coma (Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)
This package containing both CDs and a DVD, the CDs contains songs spanning matt good's whole career, its nice to have them all together for the first time. Tho I'm not sure the selection will please everyone with songs such as camolina only included on the DVD. The DVD with the videos was particularly welcome as I hadn't seen the majority and they add something to the songs. Well worth every penny!
